How to prove no longer required by employer.
My boss employed another part timer @ lower hourly rate than me. Since then I have found I'm being left out of the loop and not being given info where needed.

At the moment I have a "part time…

Leaving without giving notice
I've just had an interview, and the guy made it very clear he wants someone ASAP. Would it backfire on me if I were to walk out of my current job? Just clear my desk one evening and leave a Post It note on my boss's desk? Alternatively, is it true that if, for instance, you have 15 days holiday to take, you could leave in…
